I'm afraid I use mine like this all the time as well haha... I don't have to look down at the lever switch however it is right at knee height and don't need to look at the panel for anything - just slide the lever over... I like using it for just grabbing alittle brakes every now and then while going down the big long grades...
My brake controller is OEM ford and it doesn't work with the ford brake pedal when your speed is less than 10MPH so I always use the brake slider lever when pulling up to a stop sign especially if it is on a incline..
I am pretty sure my trailer brake lights come on when I just use my OEM slider lever - If yours doesn't do that then you might use that for a good reason for your hubby to not do that any more hehe... People behind you may not know you are slowing down????
It certainly is there to use and I think it helps alot with my setup...
